			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Forgive me: I'm guilty of cheating on this blog with a number of other blogs.  But before we get too far ahead, let's get caught up on some great looking German Cars and Rare Sport Bikes that have been listed for sale over the past several weeks.</p>

Considering he’s only asking $3200, someone should snap this up cheap!

There are very few real Alpina’s in this country anyway, and this one still has almost all of it’s original details. While I’m not an experienced collector, I have to imagine that 5-10 years from now, this car will have appreciated considerably. Then again, with over 100k miles and an approachable entry price, maybe it would be better to enjoy immediately. Can you imagine the response at your next BMW club day when you roll up in this?!

According to this Wikipedia article, the NC24 wasn’t introduced until 1987, and this bike definitely sports all the important features of the later NC24 model. But when I first saw the listing as an 85, it made me wonder if the 25 year rule works the same way it does for classic cars in the U.S. - no import or registration issues with models not previously imported. Anyone know for sure? Also, was there a Rothmans edition of the NC24?  It’s a cool bike for $3500 either way though!

Of course a 912 is not a substitute for a 911. But it’s also not to be dismissed as anything less than a fantastic sports car. Add the fact that this one has an expensive rebuilt motor assembled with such focus and dedication, you can tell that this car is at least 85% of the experience of a 911 of the same era.

On the other hand the owners clearly know the rarity of their cars and are counting on educated and wealthy buyers. Who knows when we’ll see examples like these for sale again.

The very best of everything and no expense spared. And when they’re nearly 25 years old and never raced, AND hardly even ridden, they’re truly a rare find. This one is currently at $12k (appears reserve has been met) with about 4 days to go.

Assuming the car needs a few things here and there and you had to drop two or three grand into it right away; could be a a really nice car in a pretty desirable color.

Make sure the maintenance has been tended to with a thorough pre-purchase inspection by a qualified BMW technician. This car is already over $17k, reserve not met. With 3 days to go, make your predictions!

That said, I’m a big fan of the Boxster of the same generation; and when the the 996 and Boxster suddenly share the same price point, well let’s be serious, which would you really rather have? My thoughts exactly.

This one is a bit higher than other RZ500’s listed on this blog, but the pictures sure do look good! 4 days left, bid now!

I got up close and personal with a GS1000S at the Barber Motorsports Park Museum earlier this year, and it was a standout for sure!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alex alerted me to this beautiful BMW CSL on Craigslist earlier today.  We both remarked how awesome this car is but wondered if the Batmobile's actually fetch $130k.  Take a look for yourself at this <a target="_blank" href="http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/cto/1084603425.html">1973 BMW 3.0CSL on Craigslist:</p>

<p>quote from seller's listing:</a></p>
<blockquote><p>
This beautiful 1973 BMW Series 2 Batmobile is 1 of 57 of which ONLY TWO were produced black!! The other is parked in a museum in Europe. All parts are the original parts, with only 46,397 original miles on it! This is a one time oppurtunity, check this baby out! It has a 4 speed manual, 3.2L all original!!! and this beauty drives clean! The interior still looks like new and has no weather damage or stains, it's super clean. The wing kit is still brand new wrapped in bubble wrap sitting in the trunk.
</p></blockquote>
<p>After doing some brief digging on the Sports Car Market website, they have two CSL's in their auction database.  One that went for $154k at auction and another that sold on eBay for $73k, both in 2006.  With this car's super low, original miles, $130k may not be that outrageous.  As they say, it's only original once...</p>
<p>Thanks for the submission Alex!</p>

<em><br />
60 Photos @ WWW.WINDYCITYMOTORSPORTS.COM We at Windy City Motorsports are very pleased to offer for sale this very rare, and ultra cool 2000 BMW M Coupe. As if the M coupe itself was not bad ass enough, an Active Autowerke supercharger system has been installed to boost power and performance. This intercooled supercharger kit sells for $4,500 plus labor, and bumps the horsepower to 360 at 7.0 PSI of boost. All on 91-93 octane pump gas! This car is an absolute BLAST to drive!!! It is finished in Cosmo Black metallic over a super clean black leather cockpit. Buy with confidence knowing it is an AutoCheck certified accident free vehicle, and is laser straight. Rolling stock consists of the original BMW Motorsport lightweight wheels wrapped in brand new Kumho ASX high performance all season tires. The fluids are fresh, and the brakes are new on all 4 corners. It is ready to enjoy.<br />
</em></p>
<p>55k miles, 360hp, black on black (not that terrible two tone many have), and a somewhat rare sight really.  I've always liked the M Coupes and they look so purposeful in person.  For $18900, I'm turned on!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looks like the NSX market isn't immune to the recession either.  A scan of NSX Prime Marketplace (the place to surf NSX anything online) a year ago and you would've been hard pressed to find any NSX for less than $28-30k.  There are at least 3 right now for less than that and with decent mileage.  Both of these stood out to me because of the color combination's, decent mileage, and the somehow reasonable looking $25k price tags.</p>
<p>First up is this <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?s=d069925abe11a13d80d67de3cd5716fa&#038;t=108255">Black on Ivory NSX For Sale in San Diego:</p>

<p>quote from seller's NSXPrime listing:</a></p>
<blockquote><p>
Black/Ivory</p>
<p>5 speed<br />
72,044 miles</p>
<p>Only mod is Flowmaster Exhaust, but it still looks stock with the original tips.<br />
A/C Head Unit was replaced a few months ago.<br />
Clean Title. Runs strong. Selling because it doesn't get driven enough.<br />
Extra set of Stock 1991 Wheels+Tires Included.

<p>quote from seller's NSXPrime Listing:</a></p>
<blockquote><p>
1991 Acura NSX<br />
5 Speed Manual transmission<br />
Not in snap ring range<br />
68,000 miles<br />
Only 467 sebring silver cars ever produced!<br />
Car has only ONE OWNER before me. It has never been in an accident.<br />
I trailered the car to PA at the end of 2007.</p>
<p>All original with the exception of<br />
-new koni adjustable struts (originals ones included)<br />
-custom exhaust<br />
-8000k philips HID (self installed)<br />
-window film<br />
-upgraded chrome wheels from 00 model (original ones included)</p>
<p>No issues except<br />
-climate currently only blowing on high, needs hvac rebuilt<br />
-super tiny ding on lowest part of front right fender<br />
-front spoiler is scratched, I will include a new one, but you install.</p>
<p>Service Records<br />
-When I was reviewing the records I left it outside overnight during a rain storm, all of them blew away and I had to go hunting for them. I believe I lost about 20 pages.<br />
-engine serviced, timing belt and water pump around 55,000 miles<br />
-clutch and transmission rebuilt around 45,000 miles<br />
-lots of other work, 90% of work done at Acura of Pompano Beach / Rick Case Acura.</p>
<p>Buyer will have one choice of<br />
1. chrome wheels currently on the car.<br />
2. solaris silver wheels nearly perfect
</p></blockquote>
<p>I would soooo love to have an NSX in the garage.  Even though a collision would bankrupt me, the rest of the package is so well balanced and reliable.  As prices come down, it's even easier to justify the thought.  I'd go with the black one for the great color combo, but that's getting a bit nit-picky as both are beautiful.  I wouldn't kick either one out of bed for that price!</p>

While the motor isn’t the original, it is rebuilt. And this isn’t going to be a concours car anyway. His website has many articles on the model and the classified ad on Pelican Parts is refreshingly honest. Personally if I were buying, I’d keep it as is if the rust was livable and drive the balls off it!</em></td>

<p>quote from seller's post:</a></p>
<blockquote><p>
it is a 1973 mazda rx-3 2dr. fastback blackwith black interior. it is powered a a 13-b rotory motor street ported with race beat intake, race beat header, holly carb, exhaust and muffler. this thing sounds real mean. backed by a 4 speed trans with race clutch, battery relocated to truck with an alluminum fuel cell in the trunk, electric fuel pump with electric cooling fan as well. has fiber glass fenders and hood with hood pins. lowered about 1.5 inches via race springs in the front and blocks in the back. has heavy duty front sway bar and posi rear. very very sharp car and very fast to boot. gonna take it to e-town tonight to see what it can do. lots of mods and very sharp. asking $7900 or best cash offer will consider partial or full trades for a really nice v-dub.
</p></blockquote>
<p>I know I haven't seen one of these for sale in quite a long time and this one is in reasonable and drivable condition.  The 13B upgrade and performance accessories certainly sweeten the deal and guarantee this is a little screamer.</p>
<p>But $7900 seems crazy to me because I think you could fetch a far better first generation RX-7 for that kind of money.  It's not like the RX-3 set the world on fire like the seven did, so I have a hard time giving it this kind of billing.  But the seller is on the east coast, and it's probably been 20 years since anyone has seen one this decent in salt country.</p>
<p>Regular readers will note that I took a little break from blogging this past weekend.  Work has been kicking my ass and the weather was really nice here in the Willamette Valley this past weekend.  So I unplugged and decompressed, enjoying the weather and quiet.  As such I'll be getting the updates from <a target="_blank" href="http://germancarsforsaleblog.com">GermanCarsForSaleBlog</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://raresportbikesforsale.com">RareSportBikesForSale</a> out a bit late.  But follow the links now and be ahead of the curve if need be - there's some good stuff in there.  And I'll be doing a writeup of a recent interview with the previous owner of this <a target="_blank" href="http://germancarsforsaleblog.com/porsche-dp-935-turbo-previously-owned-by-mario-andretti-and-pete-rose/">82 Porsche 911 Turbo modified by DP Motorsports</a>, which has was owned earlier by Mario Andretti and Pete Rose.  Some good reading in the works, stay tuned!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It's been a week now since I made up my mind not buy this car and it's still hanging around my neck like a brutal hangover.  Check out this solid looking <a target="_blank" href="http://germancarsforsaleblog.com/1990-porsche-carrera-2-for-sale-great-looking-car-under-20k/">1990 Porsche Carrera 2 for sale that I just listed on GermanCarsForSaleBlog:</p>

<p>When I saw this car and made contact with the seller, I had that feeling that I've had before when I've spotted 'the one'.  The same feeling I had when I bought the <a href="http://www.dancrouchblog.com/1995-bmw-e36-m3/">M3</a> for instance.  The right mileage, history, maintenance and upgrades.  You know, a great example being passed from one enthusiast to another.  But alas, there will be another someday...</p>
<p>Here's a preview of the online resource guide I'll be putting together for prospective 964 buyers:</p>
<p><strong>Porsche 964 Known Issues</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The early 964 motors leak oil, and potentially lots of it.  Many consider it not a matter of how much, but how soon it will be severe.  Later 93 models have a correction to the motor to solve this issue.</li>
<li>The flywheel is also notorious for failure in the 75-100k mile range.  Again, the later models address this issue and can easily be retrofitted.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Porsche 964 Online Resources</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a target="_blank" href="http://www.6speedonline.com/">6SpeedOnline</a> - A growing community with a lot of vendor support.  And where I spotted the classified ad for the car featured in this post.
</li>

<li><a target="_blank" href="http://www.porsche964.nl">JW's Porsche 964 Site</a> - Another first hand account enthusiast site that has excellent data on actual ownership costs, magazine reviews, and links.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Why This 964 With 130k miles Looks Attractive to Me</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>This car has reported full receipts.  On German sports cars this is a very good first indicator of previous owners who cared for the car.  And it's not cheap, which will help provide state of mind in knowing there isn't thousands needed in immediate expenses.</li>
<li>This car has a rebuilt motor and was built to include all the 964 upgrades to make the engine as reliable as possible.
</li>
<li>Because this car is a must own someday car for me, I have to include that I'm also attracted to this car because it was the high school fantasy dream car for me.  I even assembled this (recently reissued) <a target="_blank" href="http://www.hlj.com/product/FUJ12061">Fujumi model of the Porsche 964 Carrera 2</a> at 17 or 18 years old, in you guessed it, black on black.</li>
<li>I even like the upgrades of the tasteful H&#038;R springs, chip, strut bar and sport exhaust.  All upgrades I'd probably choose to make myself, that are already in place!</li>
</ul>
<p>I consulted my close friend and Porsche specialist, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.dancrouchblog.com/index.php?s=paul">Paul</a> at <a target="blank" href="http://sportscarshop.com/">Sports Car Shop</a>, about my analysis and gut feeling concerning the approachability and value of this car.  It went like this:</p>
<blockquote><p>
[22:07] Dan: it's got mileage and isn't perfect.  While it will live in the garage, it won't be the end of the world if it stay in the driveway for a week or two.  True or False<br />
[22:07] Paul: True, Porsches are "real" cars, not just garage queens that fall apart at the first sign of moisture.<br />
[22:07] Paul: Next?<br />
[22:08] Dan: A Carrera 2 with good maintenance and 130k miles is a good deal at 18.5k.  True or False<br />
[22:09] Paul: True, Maintenance is key but the Carrara motor is a direct descendent of the venerable 3.0 SC engine, a bullet-proof high-mileage motor if taken care of.<br />
[22:11] Paul: uh oh, this looks like a long one, I'm getting a beer<br />
[22:12] Dan: Even though this motor is not numbers matching, having been rebuilt with the right corrections (barrel/case seals, vented distributor, flywheel upgrade) and having only 25k miles on the drivetrain, is likely an inevitible expense with early 964's.  Isn't it valuable to a driver to know that this car is good for at least another 75k miles even if upgrades weren't performed.  True or False.  And how much does a cheap to dealership range cost to rebuild a 964 motor anyway?<br />
[22:12] Dan: Yes, beer me too!<br />
[22:15] Dan: mmm, Grolsch, good call!<br />
[22:17] Paul: True, an engine rebuilt to stock specs should have a life expectancy of at least 100k miles.  A rebuild is not cheap and almost out of the question if a specialty shop or dealership performs the repairs, somewhere in the $10-20K range.  A quick freshen-up without new pistons or head work is a bit chaper, but in the end a used engine is the only "budget" solution.  I still am curious why this car<br />
[22:17] Paul: needed an engine so early in it's life?<br />
[22:18] Dan: the email states excessive oil leaks, which is inline with what I've read in terms of buyer's guides for the 964<br />
[22:18] Dan: (Link: http://www.porsche964.nl/reviews/964-2003.php)http://www.porsche964.nl/reviews/964-2003.php<br />
[22:19] Paul: Then a reseal, not a rebuild is what's in order.  I've seen and repaired a number of these with leaks from the valve and timing chain covers, rear main seals, and front seals.<br />
[22:19] Dan: sounds like I need to call the guys who rebuilt the engine ahead of time to inquire<br />
[22:20] Dan: according to the email, the dudes who rebuilt the engine are reputable, but I should do my own homework<br />
[22:21] Paul: agreed, call and ask those exact questions, 'what was rebuilt, what was replaced, and why?"<br />
[22:21] Dan: what are acceptable answers and what are not?<br />
[22:23] Paul: I suspect that the car had an extensive engine-out service to repair the oil leakage (a 993 we did recently with some upgrades but no rebuild ran $13,000). but was not "rebuilt.  The owner may have misunderstood because of the magnitude of the work and the cost involved.<br />
[22:24] Paul: or, he got a great deal and you could too!<br />
[22:25] Dan: well even with that caveaot in place, I still tend to think as an infatuated buyer that the expensive upgrades have been performed (if documented) and it could still be a deal and even an appreciating car.   Especially black on black<br />
[22:26] Dan: And personally, I love the design 90 wheels and I'm glad they're part of the picture<br />
[22:26] Paul: there is no doubt that whatever has been done to it in the past if it's a clean, well-running car it's worth the asking price.<br />
[22:26] Dan: and in the end, this is my point<br />
[22:27] Dan: especially if the right mods were in fact made, from what I've read, that's the only stuff to bitch about on this platform.<br />
[22:27] Paul: As an investment you could always recoup your money<br />
[22:29] Paul: the 964 is underappreciated, the cool classic style of a 911 with the modern grunt of the 993 engine, what's not to love?
</p></blockquote>
<p>So anyway, I will regrettably be passing on this car.  But if you're in the PNW and in the market for a 964, you should go check this car out!</p>
<p><strong>Disclaimer: </strong> I have not seen this car in person nor has Paul.  While I presume a visual inspection will reveal detailed documentation of service history and the overall quality of this car, I can only assume the buyer be educated or employ a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) before buying to be sure.</p>
